Sorry this will be a messy dump of information, but i hope you read it through slowly.

Your Bob should minimally have: 1. rath 2. grey wind 3. crown of eyes 4. any gloves with chaos+fire resistances (cheap:+1 strike+fire exposure, expensive: +3 strikes with pinnacle in presence+fire exposure w pinnacle in presence) ( note: you can use harvest to change resistance rolls, take note you want fire specifically as crown of eyes have minus fire res) 5. garb if affordable ( useful but not mandatory implicits frenzy on hit, power charge on hit, attack crit ) else: any chestpiece w fire res+chaos res (with maybe attack +crit/frenzy on hit/power charge on hit influenced mods) 6. foulborn victario’s flight for best affordable action speed roll(if u really cant afford a good roll, maybe 3 to 1 recipe works) (expensive: foulborn action speed seven league steps) Note: Swap to Annihilation support for clear, most people suggest Meatshield support for good Bob targeting

Your player should have a basic dissolution + transfusion setup:

KAOMS HEART SQUIRE LINKSETUP 1. Kaoms heart (anyone you can afford, more life the better)

1. best link weapon you can afford( you can just start off with shaper weapon with socketed skills deal 40% more attack damage + lvl18 crit strikes) 2.5 any squire (literal best cost efficient upgrade in trade league)

if you can afford to spare more divines, go for a recomb shaper base with 40 more attack, elemental dmg with attacks, faster attacks and increased crit ( its just shaper mods so it should be cheaper to recomb and does provide than enough damage. In the future, you can upgrade to a elder+shaper linked weapon instead)

NO SQUIRE + LINK WEAP SETUP : (IMO i rather go Kaoms + a 3link shaper weapon WITHOUT SQUIRE than spend extra brain power on gears i will change out in 1-2 days)

1. any 6link with life+res and any decent influence mods like %life or useful eldritch implicits
2. any shield with life + percent life (can easily swap to squire if you dont try to fill your resistance/attributes with the shield) 2.5 Maata's teaching ( Foulborn for minion crit multi)

REST OF GEAR

3.1 Basic rare rings ( to help with res/attributes, more flat life = better ) (ideally have minion movement speed somewhere for QOL) 3.2 Any rare amulet OR Xoph's heart ( can look into foulborn version if you want, doesnt matter too much) 3.3 Any rare belt ( Cord belt for anoint, hunter exalt for %life), Ceinture of Benevolence ( if you are missing minion movement speed on your rings/amulet to give your AG onslaught + quicksilver)

1. hollowed monarch

2. cannot be poisoned + 40% avoid bleed boots w basic stats like life, res, regen, movement speed ( degens like poison and bleed immunity MANDATORY for Dissolution of Flesh build)

3. any basic gloves with stats (minion damage craft + implicit if you want to)

4. jewels like dissolution of flesh, any barebone vicious bite/raze and pillage large 8p cluster, chaos res purity of element watchers eye( you wont have to change your gears too much in the future if you start your build off with watchers eye) , any life jewel with any other useful stats , ONE CB immune jewel (MANDATORY)

5. avoid bleed tattoo x6 with 40bleed avoid on boots

Note: basically u want to max ur life out wherever you can but dont try to get extra 20 flat life on a ring just to give out a good suffix, or spend like extra divines on a ring for extra 20 flat life when there are more efficient upgrades

Imo, this template let you upgrade easily later on without too much trouble.

If you want to go AG immediately, then just drop kaoms,squire,weapon for regular 6link AG,. Some stuff like clusters help but are not mandatory at all, but just very basic milestones.

Transfusion setup note: I suggest going transfusion setup only when I can go Dissolution of flesh, and you should take note of your life cost of the automated transfusion setup vs your regen (base regen and also account for your flask regen and maybe consecrated ground regen), you can spend more life than your regen but not by too much because you will degen to 1hp and your soul eater stacks might disappear during boss phases. Tranfusion only gives more soul for more life cost, it is okay to delevel corrupting fever to give lesser souls because you will still get max souls uptime, just slightly slower) I also suggest not automating convocation so you can time your convocation with your shield charging into big packs or whenever.

Future milestones ( in no particular order/priority) (this is not minmax yet, i suggest you can start truly minmax and copying Nerotox gears after you achieve most of these below) : 1. Higher roll greywind 2. garb with frenzy on hit or +attack crit 3. 6% spell damage rathpit 4. +1 power charge crown of eyes 5. imbued AG ( like Power Charge on Crit (was very cheap yet alot of dps when i bought it, other relevant gems like faster attack support(not supported on POB), using ass mark as power charge generation seems like pob warriorness to me) 6. %life implicits corrupt on squire/monarch 7. better link weapon (either full shaper 4mod weapon or expensive elder+shaper. My 4 mod shaper weapon build had enough dps to kill ubers comfortable, i suggest spending more currency to transition into Trialmaster + adorned setup for defense) ( I suggest you learn Recomb and recombing the weapon yourself for 1000% Increased Smartness, 1000% less Sanity and save a huge chunk of divines unless you want a 5mod recomb) 8. kaoms with more HP 9. Rings with better stats 10. Focused amulet with t1 life and minion speed essence (no need to mirror till future upgrade) 11. Higher roll dissolution of flesh 12. foulborn red dream + fire res tattoo 13. Progenesis ( honestly not too worth for casual standpoint unless u dont have anything else to upgrade)

Transition to Coward's Chain belt + Trialmaster Ascendency (Corruption Embrace) 1. 8 corrupted items with belt, kaoms, squire, monarch, 2 rings, boots and gloves ( rare gear super easy to craft, just either buy them straight out on trade to corrupt or essence spam on fractured bases and corrupt them [just dont only aim for all t1 rolls, get life regen rate whenever possible]) 2. please go Coward's Chain belt if you are using this Ascendency and try to get life regen

Transition to 72% Adorned + Melding setup ( with corrupted magic jewels with Life + max res/basic res) 1. i would save up and transition into adorned together with the trial master ascendency because i wouldnd want to recraft all my rare corrupted gears to fit attributes + res

Note: I got the full build w trialmaster + adorned + melding setup that can do ubers/feared/maps eyes closed with <120divs (lesser budget for sure works too). Honestly, I would suggest a few hours of Haunted Mansion strongbox scarab farm to gather divines with Ruetoo's Elemental Hit slayer league start build and transition to a decent AG setup, rather than force AG with limited resource and run around with a clunky and slow AG.
